Day 4: Scratchcards


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

I had to give Uiua another go today. (run it here)

what if code obfuscation was built into the language?

[–] Gobbel2000@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago
[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I'm fascinated and horrified

[–] Gobbel2000@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago

Rust

This one wasn't too bad. The example for part 2 even tells you how to process everything by visiting each card once in order. Another option could be to recursively look at all won copies, but that's probably much less efficient.

[–] cacheson@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Nim

This one was pretty simple, just parse the numbers into sets and check the size of the intersection. Part 2 just made the scoring mechanism a little more complicated.

[–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nim@programming.dev

[–] pngwen@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's some elegant code! Then again, I suppose that's the beauty of nim.

[–] cacheson@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm rather spoiled by python, so I feel like it could be more elegant. xD

But yeah, I do like how this one turned out, and nim runs a whole lot faster than python does. I really like nim's "method call syntax". Instead of having methods associated with an individual type, you can just call any procedure as x.f(remaining_args) to call f with x as its first argument. Makes it easy to chain procedures. Since nim is strongly typed, it'll know which procedure you mean to use by the signature.

[–] Andy@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aside from the general conciseness, the "universal function call syntax" is my favorite aspect of nim.

If you want to take chaining procedures to the next level, try a concatenative language like Factor (I have a day 4 solution in this thread -- with no assignment to variables).

I also suggest having a look at Roc if you want a functional programming adventure, which offers great chaining syntax, a very friendly community, and is in an exciting development phase.

[–] cacheson@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you, I'll keep those in mind. Functional programming seems interesting to me, but I don't have any practical experience with it. At some point I want to learn one of the languages that are dedicated to it. Nim does have some features for enabling a functional style, but the overall flexibility of the language probably makes it harder to learn said style.

Still trying to make sense of it but that part two fold is just jummy!

I'm really impressed by your part 2. And I thought my solution was short...

Not familiar with Lean4 but it looks like the same approach. High five!

Somehow took way longer on the second part than the first part trying a recursive approach and then realizing that was dumb.

Edit: Sorry, should have read your code first, you made it work too. if it works it works, Recursive solutions just click for me over other solutions.

I made the recursion work, went to a depth of 24 for my input set.

(python) Much easier than day 3.

code

with open(base_dir / filename) as f:
    lines = f.read().splitlines()

score = 0

n_cards = [1 for _ in lines]

for i, line in enumerate(lines):
    _, numbers = line.split(":")
    winning, have = numbers.split(" | ")

    winning_numbers = {int(n) for n in winning.split()}
    have_numbers = {int(n) for n in have.split()}

    have_winning_numbers = winning_numbers & have_numbers
    n_matches = len(have_winning_numbers)

    if n_matches:
        score += 2 ** (n_matches - 1)

    j = i + 1
    for _ in range(n_matches):
        if j >= len(lines):
            break
        n_cards[j] += n_cards[i]
        j += 1

answer_p1 = score
print(f"{answer_p1=}")

answer_p2 = sum(n_cards)
print(f"{answer_p2=}")

I enjoyed this one. It was a nice simple break after Days 1 and 3; the type of basic puzzle I expect from the first few days of Advent of Code. Pretty simple logic in this one, I don't think I would change too much. I'm sure I'll find a way to clean up how it's written a bit, but I'm happy with this one today.

https://github.com/capitalpb/advent_of_code_2023/blob/main/src/solvers/day04.rs

struct Scratchcard {
    winning_numbers: HashSet,
    player_numbers: HashSet,

impl Scratchcard {
    fn from(input: &str) -> Scratchcard {
        let (_, numbers) = input.split_once(':').unwrap();
        let (winning_numbers, player_numbers) = numbers.split_once('|').unwrap();
        let winning_numbers = winning_numbers
            .split_ascii_whitespace()
            .filter_map(|number| number.parse::().ok())
            .collect::>();
        let player_numbers = player_numbers
            .split_ascii_whitespace()
            .filter_map(|number| number.parse::().ok())
            .collect::>();

        Scratchcard {
            winning_numbers,
            player_numbers,
        }
    }

    fn matches(&self) -> u32 {
        self.winning_numbers
            .intersection(&self.player_numbers)
            .count() as u32
    }
}

        input

        for card_number in 0..cards.len() {
            let matches = cards[card_number].matches();

            if matches == 0 {
                continue;
            }

            for i in 1..=matches {
                card_counts[card_number + i as usize] += card_counts[card_number];

APL

I'm using this years' AoC to learn (Dyalog) APL, so this is probably terrible code. I'm happy to receive pointers for improvement, particularly if there is a way to write the same logic with tacit functions or inner/outer products that I missed.

[–] mykl@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just posted a solution in Uiua, which is also probably equally terrible, but if you squint you can see some similarities in our approaches.

[–] corristo@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I haven't heard of Uiua before, but I can read some things :D I like the idea of rotating the vector instead of manually padding it with the required number of leading zeroes!

[–] mykl@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I think it's only a few months old. I've enjoyed playing with it because it allows me to use stack manipulation as an alternative to combinators and every symbol has a fixed arity both of which make it feel a lot more accessible to me.

I was very pleased with myself when I thought of that rotation trick :-)

Okay, that's more like it. Simple parsing and a bit of recursion, and fits on one screen. Perfect for day 4 :-)

int matchCount(String line) => line
    .split(RegExp('[:|]'))
    .skip(1)
    .map((ee) => ee.trim().split(RegExp(r'\s+')).map(int.parse))

    .reduce((s, t) => s.intersection(t))
    .length;

late List matches;
late List totals;

int scoreFor(int ix) {
  if (totals[ix] != 0) return totals[ix];
  return totals[ix] =
      [for (var m in 0.to(matches[ix])) scoreFor(m + ix + 1) + 1].sum;
}

part1(List lines) =>
    lines.map((e) => pow(2, matchCount(e) - 1).toInt()).sum;

part2(List lines) {
  matches = [for (var e in lines) matchCount(e)];
  totals = List.filled(matches.length, 0);
  return matches.length + 0.to(matches.length).map(scoreFor).sum;

That int-call on the return value for the point value is a good idea. I manually returned 0 if there were no matches.

[–] UlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

I personally would prefer the if check and return 0 in most instances just because it's clearer and more readable. But the two previous functions were one-liners so it just looked better if get_winnings() also was.

Another day of parsing, another day of strsep() to the rescue. Today was one of those satisfying days where the puzzle text is complicated but the solution is simple once well understood.

Looks like Lemmy's odd parsing broke your comment at the less-than sign.

[–] sjmulder@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's unfortunate, although it looks good on my instance (SDF). Anything I could do?

[–] mykl@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Ohh that’s interesting, I’ve seen a few comments about mishandling of special chars in code blocks and assumed it was a server issue, maybe it’s fixed in newer releases or perhaps it’s client side.

Part 1

Sets really came in handy for this challenge, as did recognizing that you can use powers of two to compute the points for each card. I tried using a regular expression to parse each card, but ended up just doing it manually with split :|

Numbers = set[int]
Card    = list[Numbers]

def read_cards(stream=sys.stdin) -> Iterator[Card]:
    for line in stream:
        yield [set(map(int, n.split())) for n in line.split(':')[-1].split('|')]

def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
    cards  = [numbers & winning for winning, numbers in read_cards(stream)]
    points = sum(2**(len(card)-1) for card in cards if card)
    print(points)

Part 2

This took me longer than I wished... I had to think about it carefully before seeing how you can just keep track of the counts of each card, and then when you get to that card, you add to its copies your current count.

def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
    cards  = [numbers & winning for winning, numbers in read_cards(stream)]
    counts = defaultdict(int)

    for index, card in enumerate(cards, 1):
        counts[index] += 1
        for copy in range(index + 1, index + len(card) + 1):
            counts[copy] += counts[index]

    print(sum(counts.values()))

PHP

Today was the easiest day so far IMHO. Today, I coded in PHP, a horrible language that produces even worse code. (Ok, full confession, I fed my family for about half a decade on PHP. I seemed to have gotten stuck with it, and so I earned a PhD to escape it.)

Anyway, the only trouble I had was I forgot about the explode function's capacity to return empty strings. Once I filtered those I had the correct answer on the first one, and then 10 minutes later I had the second part. I wrote my code true to raw php's awful idioms, though I didn't make it web based. I read from stdin.

My code is linked on github:

C# Recursion Time! (max depth 24)

Today I learnt how to get multiple captures out of the same group in Regex. I also learnt how much a console line write slows down your app.... (2 seconds without, never finished with)

Late as always (actually a day late by UK time).

My solution to this one runs slow, but it gets the job done. I didn't actually need the CardInfo struct by the time I was done, but couldn't be bothered to remove it. Previously, it held more than just count.

late because I had to skip two days of aoc. Fairly easy

input =  File.read("input.txt").lines

sum = 0
winnings = Array.new(input.size) {[1, 0]}
input.each_with_index do |line, i|
	card, values = line.split(":")
	nums = values.split("|").map(&.split.map(&.to_i))

	points = 0
	nums[1].each do |num|
		if nums[0].includes?(num)
			points = points == 0 ? 1 : points * 2
			winnings[i][1] += 1
	end    end
	sum += points
end
puts sum

winnings.each_with_index do |card, i|
	next if card[1] == 0
	(1..card[1]).each do |n|
		winnings[i+n][0] += card[0]
end    end
puts winnings.sum(&.[0])

[Language: Lean4]

I'll only post the actual parsing and solution. I have written some helpers which are in other files, as is the main function. For the full code, please see my github repo.

I'm pretty sure that implementing part 2 in a naive way would cause Lean to demand a proof of termination, what might not be that easy to supply in this case... Luckily there's a way more elegant and way faster solution than the naive one, that can use structural recursion and therefore doesn't need an extra proof of termination.

Solution

structure Card where
  id : Nat
  winningNumbers : List Nat
  haveNumbers : List Nat
  deriving Repr

private def Card.matches (c : Card) : Nat :=
  flip c.haveNumbers.foldl 0 λo n ↦
    if c.winningNumbers.contains n then o + 1 else o

private def Card.score : Card → Nat :=
  (· / 2) ∘ (2^·) ∘ Card.matches

abbrev Deck := List Card

private def Deck.score : Deck → Nat :=
  List.foldl (· + ·.score) 0

def parse (input : String) : Option Deck := do
  let mut cards : Deck := []
  for line in input.splitOn "\n" do
    if line.isEmpty then
      continue
    let cs := line.splitOn ":"
    if p : cs.length = 2 then
      let f := String.trim $ cs[0]'(by simp[p])
      let g := String.trim $ cs[1]'(by simp[p])
      if not $ f.startsWith "Card " then
        failure
      let f := f.drop 5 |> String.trim
      let f ← f.toNat?
      let g := g.splitOn "|"
      if q : g.length = 2 then
        let winners := String.trim $ g[0]'(by simp[q])
        let draws := String.trim $ g[1]'(by simp[q])
        let toNumbers := λ(s : String) ↦
          s.split (·.isWhitespace)
          |> List.filter (not ∘ String.isEmpty)
          |> List.mapM String.toNat?
        let winners ← toNumbers winners
        let draws ← toNumbers draws
        cards := {id := f, winningNumbers := winners, haveNumbers := draws : Card} :: cards
      else
        failure
    else
      failure
  return cards -- cards is **reversed**, that's intentional. It doesn't affect part 1, but makes part 2 easier.

def part1 : Deck → Nat := Deck.score

def part2 (input : Deck) : Nat :=
  -- Okay, doing this brute-force is dumb.
  -- Instead let's compute how many cards each original card is worth, and sum that up.
  -- This relies on parse outputting the cards in **reverse** order.
  let multipliers := input.map Card.matches
  let sumNextN : Nat → List Nat → Nat := λn l ↦ (l.take n).foldl (· + ·) 0
  let rec helper : List Nat → List Nat → List Nat := λ input output ↦ match input with
    | [] => output
    | a :: as => helper as $ (1 + (sumNextN a output)) :: output
  let worths := helper multipliers []
  worths.foldl (· + ·) 0

[JavaScript] Swapped over to javascript from rust since I want to also practice some js. Managed to get part 1 in 4 minutes and got top 400 on the global leaderboard. Second part took a bit longer and took me 13 mins since I messed up by originally trying to append to the card array. (eventually swapped to keeping track of amounts in a separate array)

Part 1

// Part 1
// ======

function part1(input) {
  const lines = input.split("\n");
  let sum = 0;

  for (const line of lines) {
    const content = line.split(":")[1];
    const winningNums = content.split("|")[0].match(/\d+/g);
    const myNums = content.split("|")[1].match(/\d+/g);

    let cardSum = 0;

    for (const num of winningNums) {
      if (myNums.includes(num)) {
        if (cardSum == 0) {
          cardSum = 1;
        } else {
          cardSum = cardSum * 2;
        }
      }
    }

    sum = sum + cardSum;
  }

  return sum;
}

Part 2

// Part 2
// ======

function part2(input) {
  let lines = input.split("\n");
  let amount = Array(lines.length).fill(1);

  for (const [i, line] of lines.entries()) {
    const content = line.split(":")[1];
    const winningNums = content.split("|")[0].match(/\d+/g);
    const myNums = content.split("|")[1].match(/\d+/g);

    let cardSum = 0;

    for (const num of winningNums) {
      if (myNums.includes(num)) {
        cardSum += 1;
      }
    }

    for (let j = 1; j <= cardSum; j++) {
      if (i + j >= lines.length) {
        break;
      }
      amount[i + j] += amount[i];
    }
  }

  return lines.reduce((acc, line, i) => {
    return acc + amount[i];
  }, 0);
}

Improvement I found afterwards:

  • Could have done a reduce on the amount array instead of the lines array since I don't use the line value at all
